Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mass spectrometer installation technology, specifically to a mass spectrometer mounting bracket. Background Technology
[0002] To meet the needs of mobile monitoring, mass spectrometers are currently mounted on mobile monitoring vehicles. During installation, they are usually fixed using vehicle-mounted brackets. Existing vehicle-mounted brackets mainly use springs for longitudinal shock absorption. However, the vibrations during vehicle movement are multi-directional composite motions (lateral swaying, longitudinal bumps, and torsional impacts). Single-direction buffering cannot effectively disperse energy. Moreover, traditional elastic structures have large and uncontrollable deformations under impact, which can easily lead to excessive instrument displacement and may cause dislocation or collision damage to internal precision components. To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a mass spectrometer mounting bracket. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned technical shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a mass spectrometer mounting bracket. The frame design can mitigate impact forces from multiple directions, and the inclusion of springs and support plates limits the deformation amplitude of the frame during deformation, thereby limiting the displacement distance of the mass spectrometer and preventing excessive displacement that could damage internal components.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: The present invention provides a mass spectrometer mounting bracket, comprising:
[0005] Four support components are located at the four corners of the lower end of the mass spectrometer, and the support components are connected to the two adjacent sides of the mass spectrometer by bolts. The support components are installed in the carriage by bolts, and play a role in buffering and protecting the mass spectrometer when subjected to external forces, such as when the vehicle accelerates, decelerates, bumps, or turns.
[0006] Preferably, the support component includes:
[0007] The floor plate is connected to the carriage by bolts;
[0008] A connector, which is connected to the mass spectrometer by bolts;
[0009] The base plate and the connector are connected by a buffer section.
[0010] Preferably, the buffer section includes:
[0011] The frame has its upper end face fixedly connected to the connector and its lower end face fixedly connected to the base plate. The two side walls of the frame are arc-shaped and made of an elastic material (such as spring steel).
[0012] Preferably, the arc-shaped openings on both sides of the frame face opposite directions, and the frame is provided with a limiting mechanism inside. The limiting mechanism can limit the amplitude of the frame deformation during the deformation process and limit the displacement distance of the mass spectrometer to avoid exceeding the displacement limit and causing damage to the internal components.
[0013] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes:
[0014] A support plate is fixedly installed between the two side walls of the frame. The support plate has a double-layer structure and the two side walls of the support plate are arc-shaped. The support plate is made of an elastic material.
[0015] Preferably, the arc-shaped openings on the two side walls of the support plate face each other, and multiple springs are connected between the two sides of the support plate and the inner sides of the two ends of the frame.
[0016] Preferably, a reinforcing plate is fixedly connected at the corner between the end of the frame and the side wall.
[0017] Preferably, the connector includes:
[0018] The two trays are L-shaped, with their lateral sidewalls fitting against the lower end face of the mass spectrometer and their vertical sidewalls fitting against the four sides of the mass spectrometer.
[0019] Preferably, multiple connecting rods are connected between two trays in the same connector.
[0020] Preferably, a rubber layer is fixedly connected to the surface of the tray that contacts the mass spectrometer.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0022] This utility model uses a frame made of elastic material with curved side walls, and the curved openings are set in opposite directions, which realizes the dispersion of impact forces from different directions and can absorb impact forces from multiple directions, achieving a better buffering and protection effect.
[0023] This invention improves the support force of the frame by setting up a support plate and springs, and can limit the deformation range of the frame during the buffering process, so as to avoid excessive deformation of the frame leading to buffer failure. At the same time, it can also reduce the displacement range of the mass spectrometer, further protecting the mass spectrometer. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0034] This utility model provides a mass spectrometer mounting bracket, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown.
[0035] Example 1:
[0036] A mass spectrometer mounting bracket includes four support components, which are located at the four lower corners of the mass spectrometer. The support components can cover the corners of the mass spectrometer. The four support components can cooperate with each other and are installed in the vehicle compartment by bolts, thereby providing a buffer protection for the mass spectrometer when the vehicle accelerates, decelerates, bumps, or turns.
[0037] The support assembly includes a base plate 1, which is bolted to the inside of the carriage. The base plate 1 is connected to a connector via a buffer section, and the connector is bolted to the mass spectrometer. The buffer assembly can provide buffer protection for the mass spectrometer.
[0038] The buffer section includes a frame 2, the upper and lower surfaces of which are flat, and the two side walls of the frame 2 are arc-shaped. The two side walls of the frame 2 are made of an elastic material (such as spring steel). When the mass spectrometer is subjected to external force, the two side walls of the frame 2 will produce corresponding elastic deformation, thereby providing buffer protection for the mass spectrometer when the vehicle accelerates, decelerates, bumps, or turns.
[0039] Example 2:
[0040] Based on Embodiment 1, in order to improve the support of the frame 2 and avoid excessive deformation of the frame 2 during buffering, which could lead to damage due to excessive displacement of the instrument, a limiting mechanism is added inside the frame 2. The openings of the arc-shaped side walls of the frame 2 face opposite directions. The limiting mechanism is installed between the arc-shaped side walls of the frame 2. The limiting mechanism includes a support plate 3, which is fixedly connected between the side walls of the frame 2. The support plate 3 has a double-layer structure. The side walls of the support plate 3 are arc-shaped with openings facing each other. The support plate 3 is made of an elastic material (such as spring steel). Multiple springs 4 are connected between the two sides of the support plate 3 and the two side walls of the frame 2, respectively.
[0041] The support plate 3 can generate a reverse resistance during the deformation of the arc-shaped sidewall of the frame 2. At the same time, the support plate 3 will also deform accordingly. At this time, the spring 4 can limit the deformation of the support plate 3. The support plate 3 and the spring 4 can play a multiple limiting role, preventing the frame 2 from deforming too much during buffering, which could cause the instrument to be damaged due to excessive displacement.
[0042] Meanwhile, in order to improve the stability of the frame 2, a reinforcing plate 8 is fixedly installed at the corner between the end of the frame 2 and the side wall. The reinforcing plate 8 can also improve the fatigue life of the stress concentration area at the corner of the frame 2.
[0043] Example 3:
[0044] Based on Example 1, in order to enable the connector to connect more stably to the mass spectrometer, the connector can be configured as follows, specifically as follows:
[0045] The connector includes two trays 5, which are L-shaped and have an included angle of 90 degrees. The two trays 5 are connected to the two adjacent sides of the mass spectrometer. The lateral sidewalls of the trays 5 are in contact with the lower end face of the mass spectrometer, and the vertical sidewalls are in contact with the four sides of the mass spectrometer. Multiple connecting rods 6 are connected between the two trays 5 in the same connector, which can wrap around the corners of the mass spectrometer and thus more stably define the position of the mass spectrometer. A rubber layer 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the tray 5 that contacts the mass spectrometer. The rubber layer 7 can further protect the mass spectrometer.
[0046] During installation, place the mass spectrometer on the support plane formed by multiple trays 5, and then tighten the bolts to connect the mass spectrometer to the trays 5, thus completing the installation of the mass spectrometer.
[0047] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
